In Nintendo's new product list released today, two previously unannounced Mario games have popped up into existence.

Due out by the end of this year is a Game Boy Advance version of Nintendo's popular Mario Party franchise. Nintendo previously released a Mario Party card game for use with the GBA e-Reader peripheral, but it appears that this upcoming title will be a full-fledged GBA design.

Also due out by the end of 2004 is Mario Pinball. Again, no details were revealed about this title, but we assume it will be as deep and detailed a pinball game as what the company released as Pokemon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire late last year.

These games will be revealed at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo. We'll have full details and first screens when they make their debut.
